This morning I explored the Unami Creek near Green Lane, PA. It was a beautiful morning with sun and clouds and a light breeze. The temperature was perfect and the setting wonderful. I took the opportunity to play with more HDR images. HDR is fun, and the more I practice with the art, the more I enjoy it and ‘think’ in HDR.
All images were shot at 100 ISO at small apertures of around f/22 or smaller. The small apertures forced me to use slow shutter speeds of less than 1/10 of a second… some as slow as 1.5 seconds depending on whether the sun was behind clouds.
Slow shutter speeds lend well to water, giving it a soft, tranquil look with still or flowing of rocks.
The HDR technique allows me to get detail in the full tonal range of the image from shadows to highlights.

Kevin, love the photos, especially the bridge. The colors in that one are phenomenal. Thank you for a great weekend at the waterfalls. I lost my mother the following week, but I'm so glad I traveled with all of you. Carole Greggerson
Thanks Carole. So sorry for your loss, but I know it has been a struggle for all of you and now she is at peace. All the best to you to get through this tough time. –Kevin
